Research Notes on Death from Alcohol Poisoning

Alcohol poisoning is the result of drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time, commonly called binge drinking. The effects of alcohol poisoning vary, but the most serious complication is death. There has been a rise in deaths from alcohol poisoning in the last few years among college students.1 The highest rate of death from alcohol poisoning occurs in people ages 35-54.2

Fast Facts:

  • Males have a higher rate of death from alcohol poisoning than females.2
  • Symptoms of alcohol poisoning include confusion, unconsciousness, vomiting, and seizures.3
  • Deaths from alcohol poisoning are often under reported which makes it difficult to obtain an accurate record of deaths.2
  • Binge drinking is often seen in those suffering a mood or mental disorder, such as the the manic phase of bipolar disorder.4
  • If you think you're drinking too much, simple questionnaires can help you understand how serious your problem might be. Try OrganizedWisdom's alcoholism test.
